Biocraft Nohra (Biogas Plant)

Hot water supply at an abattoir in Germany

2G installed an Avus 1500c into the Biocraft Nohra GmbH & Co. KG a Biogas plant. This supplies a neighbouring abattoir near Erfurt in Germany. A unique aspect of this project meant the necessity of decoupling two different levels of temperature. These two temperatures are essential for the efficient running of the factory. Besides the standard level for temperature of 90ºC flow / 70ºC return to supply the container of the biogas complex and other company buildings; a pressure water extraction of 110ºC flow / 90º return was implemented. Since the extraction 90/70 is ensured via the engine cooling water, a specialized waste-gas heat exchanger was installed for the 110/90 extraction in order to increase the temperature for the engine cooling water.

This on-demand process rapidly supplies heat to the Weimarer Wurstwaren GmbH. Along with the custom temperature levels, the complex also has some impressive add-ons. There’s a 18m high free-standing smokestack, as well as extensive pipework for three activated carbon filters.
